When you find something, it normally doesn't tend to get lost again immediately after being found, though... Why is Bigfoot so hard to keep a hold of? That's like saying your numbers came up in the lottery but you didn't play it that weekend.

If you're finding this creature, and doing it with relative ease, then why are we still waiting for literally any kind of credible evidence?

All of these people finding Bigfoot, and having their winning numbers show up, but nobody has seemed to ever claim the prize. Odd, that.

Then go back to that place. Right now would be good. Tracking snow and all.

This goes directly against Footer101, which tells Footers to leave the vicinity as soon as any potential Bigfoots show up.

Also, do not go back until you have sufficient reason to go back and have an excuse why Bigfoot is no longer there. i.e.

Quote:

a new oil well was dug in the vicinity so Bigfoot left

, or

Quote:

an increase in wolf population has forced Bigfoot out of the area.

you can come up with your own, it's fun.

Quote:

Someone leaked the location, and Bigfooters flocked to the area, thus scaring away the Bigfoots.

Just like the NAWACOs, you're either immune to the absurdity of that statement or in on it. This isn't you failing to get proof of a certain species of woodpecker thought to have gone extinct, this is a beast that has supposedly been seen by thousands of people and whose genuine existence would literally change human kind forever and make you rich at the same time, but you just can't find the time to prove it? That's Incredible™.

Some people even have one in their garden which they apparently feed on an almost regular basis. Imagine that, having a multi-million dollar lottery ticket just showing up at your kitchen door looking for scraps of Sunday's roast dinner!

I'm sure if Bigfoot where even remotely real, this fabled "no shoot" policy would go out of the window and every Tom, Dick and Harry would be running amok with a rifle, trying to bring home a ticket to fame and fortune. But nah.

Alaskabushpilot do you think they would be an asset to our Bigfoot expedition?

My Goodness. I'm prepping for an expedition myself, or I'd chase this lead down straight away.

It's less than two weeks away and it's another re-creation of Patterson's most important expedition. I can't divulge the exact location as per 'footer doctrine but holy **** this is a 100% lock on hair samples, lol.

"Call now to hear one of our beautiful girls reciting the events from Bluff creek in 1967...Only $3 per minute..."

That's funny!

I've been saying it for a long time and you guys never believed me, it's about the chicks, man. Meldrum's getting more than cash to show up at the "Northeastern Washington Bigfoot Symposium hosted by Becky", and it's Becky.

That's how they get ya. Lure you into a false sense of ownership with a cheap initial price, but then just a few years later get half the proceeds of the sale of that Caribbean island you'd saved up your entire life for. I've no doubt Squatchin' Gals™ are one big crap shoot where you'll constantly need to do everything in your power to make sure that 7 doesn't come too soon.

Yeah well you can put them in any order you want but you ain't getting anywhere. They are Bigfooters and you are Skeptics. You have a closed mind and probably have various small genitals and you don't go into the woods. If you were a wood guy you would see Bigfoot or hear him. You probably don't give a crap about NASCAR either. These women are Squatchers. They don't like a man who would look at a wild animal and say "oh I don't want to kill that" instead of just shooting it. Anything like skunks and turtles and buzzards.

Your music too. They don't like your music.

__________________Bigfoot believers and Bigfoot skeptics are both plumb crazy. Each spends more than one minute per year thinking about Bigfoot.

I've had the opportunity to consume some cable outdoor network programming recently and noticed no shortage of Caribou Barbie knockoffs; bad road runners in eyeliner, gloss lipstick with sparkles, posing with game animals they may (or not) have actually harvested their own damn selves. God and jesus are praised as the mountain goat, mule deer, black bear, or red squirrel bleeds out on camera. I don't speak their language despite having spent much of my life out of doors.

I heard the following on a program depicting a turkey hunt in South Florida: "The guides had to cut the hunt short as they needed to kill a couple gators for an upcoming wedding."

Despite living in SW Florida for a time, hanging out with some genuine crackers on occasion, nothing in life prepared me to parse such a sentence.

I don't have empathy for hunting as a spectator sport. But I don't have much empathy for spectating of any kind except world championship boxing and tits. You'll note the ring girls are always top flight, and in the audience you find top toddy too.

Any format can do for the latter, even banal TV like I Dream of Jeannie. Showcasing tits - boy, a real innovation there. At the time, the contract stipulated that they could never show Barbara Eden's belly button. They got five seasons with no belly button - and probably would have gotten ten if the last five lowered her sash one inch per year.

The market already shows this is a winning combination with bigfoot - or rather just a natural market nobody has ever tried to exploit up to now.

You have this "elder statesman" lady and then the models, these younger babes. These are babes, nobody is denying that. Well done, statesman.

I can see working on a "Babes of Bigfoot" calendar for the auto shop guys, welding shops, heavy equipment/logger types.

But I got my hands full on this expedition. I can do pictures for the Asian months. It would be All Asian All the Time for me but we have a market demand we have to follow.

We should probably start a GoFundMe so we can go scout locations, recruit talent for the calendar etc...

It's for charity, so it's all legit.
